Origami Cranes

you always sang the alphabet and never smoked cheap cigars
you told me i was beautiful and that I would go far
you said you'd fold me into origami cranes
and i said if you did that i'd never again complain

hey, pretty face, you might think i'm a sap
but i want you in my mouth and in my head and in my lap

you drove a volvo in winter, but i was born in september
you called me baby, remember?
it's true, i don't have to pretend here

hey, pretty face, you might think i'm a sap
but i want you in my mouth and in my head and in my lap

you knew you loved me
and i knew i could never be the girl you needed
so i had to leave

hey, pretty face, you might think i'm a sap
but i want you in my mouth and in my head and in my lap
